You could easily piece together a qualify kit from guys selling used parts on this forum, probably for near the same price as an ebay kit.

Ic never done a car before I own a few turbo diesels so wasn't sure if I was going to need to get it tuned or get a timer or anything. All I really need is my intercooler piping intercooler turbo and mani right ?

If you want to do it right, id get a complete kit from a reputable manufacturer. I recommend Dezod even though I have a Ptuning kit. The AR on the Dezod turbo is better suited for a street kit and allows you to recirculate the wastegate.

Thanks for the kind words!

Our kit here, and I would have to agree that a kit would be ideal for various reasons...

I have pieces of a dezod turbo assembly for sale. Haven't gotten the chance to break it apart yet and list it, but here's what it contains:
- Dezod manifold
- Dezod catted downpipe
- Garrett T3/T04E 57 trim turbo
- Tial 37mm Wastegate (blue cover, 7 psi spring)

What you'd need to get are
- oil feed and drain lines
- pan fitting (I think I have this too, but I'd have to check)
- injectors
- engine management
- Dezod s-pipe (otherwise you could get the downpipe/s-pipe combo from Dezod)
- charge pipe (I have a filter if you want it)
- Intercooler piping
- BOV

The turbo has ~20k miles on it. I can check for shaft play tonight and let you know, if interested.
